I dropped it by accident and the tip got little bent, it is not sh sharp anymore. How can I sharpen the tip again?

If you have a knife set that has a sharpener use that to help you sharpen the blade.

I bought this knife sharpener with my knife and was not disappointed with it. Smith's CCKS 2-Step Knife Sharpener

Not really no, just keep it clean, and sharpen it when it's dull. Which isn't very often.

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

I had this recently. My solution didn't involve any hard tools, just a piece of paper and superglue. I rolled a piece of paper into a thin tube so that size-wise it can fit right into the broken "root" of the tip that's still in the device. Then I put superglue to the part of the paper tube where it'd contact the inside of the tip once it is inserted into the broken tip. Insert the paper tube and wait for a bit. Finally press the release button and pull out the paper tube with the remainder of the broken tip. Hope this helps.

I would suggest contacting the Westcott company, they may exchange it for a new one, that's what most companies do. I honestly only use mine at home, so we do not sharpen many pencils. Sorry, hopefully this helps!

Keep in mind though you usually have to pay for shipping and handling. If it is broken I would send it in for a warranty but if it just needs to be sharpened I would say just sharpen it yourself, it is really easy

I first used a whetstone,didn't work very well. Then I tried a premise sharpener. Also didn't work well. Since the metal is so thick and heavy, several folds, I tried a grinder. Worked like a charm!!

I had the exact same problem. I finally broke down and bought some extra tips. Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

You can get a replacement refill, it's specific to the knife but available. The refill has a small brass nib on the back. Basically, you just tug the pen part out and replace it. When I use the pen (it comes in handy more often than you'd think) I usually pull the pen part out and use it that way rather than holding the knife. It's just easier.

You could do it the old-fashioned way with a whetstone and some honing oil, or you could try a sharpening tool. I'm very pleaser with the SelecTool http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004BTIS7I/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1401299383&sr;=8-1π=SL75

you must have one darn sharp knife to be able to do that.... i suspect the metal from the knife blade just "colored" the sharpening stick a little bit. hit it with a scotchbrite scrubbie and it will probably turn white again. that's what i did.

when there is no more drag on the blade you are sharpening. the groves that are cut into the rod get worn to the point they become smooth. im not sure if you can " sharpen the sharpener " or not it would be best if you would call one of the blade manufacturers and find out for sure . otherwise its time to replace it

Send the knife to Kyocera and they will replace the knife for free. There is a lifetime guarantee. I did this, with no problems.

I had to fiddle a little the first time too so don't feel bad. First, replace the black back plate. The little plastic tab goes in the middle of the retaining wire. Once it is in place, flip out the tab on the blade and hold the blade with this tab. Be careful, those blades are sharp! Try to replace the blade. You will probably need to turn it until it seats fully. Then push the tab back in place.

Just push the cap onto the tip. That's it. Are you sure you didn't break the tip?

Use the cheap roller sharpener from IKEA! I have been using that for all my Henkel's for years and found it to be the best sharpener ever. Easy and quick. A few strokes on the roller will make it sharp as new. Simple and easy and never damage your precious knives. Never leave your knives dull and abuse them for a long period. It may harm the edge too badly and that will require major surgery to revive it.

There should be a Lil rigid piece under the knife that you can push to the side and the knife can bend back in. My fiancee has his knife with him now so if I remember right its on the bottom. Up the barrel piece
